Folks, I just got a Garmin RV760LMT for my birthday. Downloaded updates and North America maps. Then it told me it was near capacity on memory. I see it takes a Micro SD card but there are so many on the market. How big should I get? Anything special I should look for or avoid? I don't expect to be hooking it up to a camera, just route directions and such.
Thanks in advance.

I installed a 32GB micro card by Sandisk...it's pretty common. Be forewarned that you may still get that same warning even after installing the micro card regardless of its size. The RV 760LM does not works the way you may think. The whole unit, when plugged into your computer, appears as a storage device (like another hard drive). Installing a micro card into it makes that "hard drive" larger by the amount of storage on the micro card.

It is unlikely that 5yr old Garmin model would benefit from any speeds over class 6 and sizes larger than 32GB. A cheap 8-16GB class 4 or 6 would be adequate for typical use. Personally, because of the minimal price difference, I'd get class 10 in a 16-32GB card and call it good for life it has left.

I'm having a difficult time finding meaningful comparisons for GPS units. Specifically, the Garmin RV760LMT... is there really much of a benefit between this unit vs another recently purchased Garmin I have for my car? Has anyone found that the routes change? Are the POI's any better than what can be found using a smartphone?

The biggest difference is being able to input the size of your coach, length and height. If needed the gps will alter your route to avoid low bridges or other obstructions and also keep you out of tight turning areas where there may be restrictions. Nice feature to have!

I just purchased the Garmin RV770LMT and I like what I'm seeing so far. I got the same low memory alert but it works fine. I'll run in my car with the RV specs and head for some known low places and see what it does. Love the fuel stations that are displayed along the route.

Here's my story and I'm sticking to it: We were using a smart phone ap to navigate last summer, missed a turn and it recalculated. As I was approaching a suggested left turn, I looked down the blacktop county road to see a sign that said Clearance=10' 3". Since I know that our Vegas is about 11' 3", I skipped the turn and went on straight to the next major highway. At our next stop, I ordered a Garmin RV760LMT!

It can show you some great information, current speed, speed limit, altitude, ETA, etc. Being portable, we use the same unit in our car, you could even use it riding with friends. It is worth whatever it cost to keep your RV from height or weight restrictions.

There have been many places my car would go that my RV would not fit! Therefore I would not use the same GPS intended to be used by my car when I'm in the RV. I once had to turn around on a narrow 2 lane mountain highway by backing off the pavement and nearly over the edge.

Agree....we have a Garmin for our truck/car and the RV Garmin for the motorhome.... a must have ! In addition, the road atlas for truck drivers, available at truck stops is good to have.
